Mornings suck when there's no kleenex. I'm going through napkins, toilet paper, etc. I hate allergies.

So - because Columbus is full of wierdos - Halloween was last night. Lauren (who still says she wants to be a bat) did not get to dress up or go out, and we didn't give out any candy. Instead we had a typical evening around here- watching Aladdin, and watching Lauren play with her McD's Aladdin toys (she's got all except for Aladdin himself, and Rajah). I feel like I should take down all of our decorations now, but Halloween isn't technically til Sunday! I swear, this town is screwy.

Matthew is nearing 14 months, and still isn't talking yet. I'm not too concerned, because a.) he's a boy, and b.) he's the second child. Both could possibly explain why the only 2 words he sounds like he's saying at this point are "da-da" (which he doesn't say to David) and "that" (or "dat", which he usually says when I give him something). I am starting to wonder about his walking. He does it well, but he seems a little bow-legged.. and his toes are somewhat turned into each other. I don't recall Lauren at this age. When do they stop walking like that? The dr. didn't say anything at his 1 yr. appointment, but then I don't know how much she really noticed when he kept trying to sneak back to the receptionist's area.
